Showing Some Teeth

This was probably one of my favorite studies of teeth... there is something mesmerizing about drawing teeth. such fun! 

Page Six done!

Six is done and in time to be considered for Spectrum Twenty! It's off to the print shop and the post office for this Illustrator! to everyone who has been waiting, thank you so much for your persistent patience! Page Seven begins!

Almost there!

Just added his booties and am finishing up the highlights in the foreground while tightening the boat to make it more wood-y and dried up leaf like than thorny and uber metallic.

Cheers!

Home stretch

Thanks for the feedback, and the questions, The new Zuddiger is actually a result of re-reading the page description, He's supposed to be focused on the boat, it seems like the Owl-Bear and The Raven are supposed to be further up river. Just getting this leaf-boat locked in, then it should be pretty much done, I'm considering adding to the waterfall in the background and concealing the waterline where it meets the far mountains, its just a little too crisp. then on to image 7.

Cheers!

Graduated, and Back in the Saddle

Hey all! I know it's been quite some time since I've posted here, and there is really no excuse. I apologize. Now that I am graduated, I figured I would come back and finish some things I began and was unable to finish due to my extensive work load my senior year and the every day chaos that is life. At the top of the list is this Book Zuddiger's picnic written by James Jacobs, I began it for my brother and will be finishing this book, text and all for the fans. Zuddiger just wasn't working as he previously existed, so he needed some tlc. More on the boat and the rest to come tomorrow. Hope you all had a very happy holiday!

Page 6 Nearing Completion

 I never guessed it would be this hard to do pro-bono work, Nearly two months behind my personal set schedule, and am now in the final stretches with this page, Thank you all for your continued patience. It has been difficult to make time for this project the last few months as I have been dealing with a lot in my personal life, in addition to finishing up a series of nine paintings for my senior exhibition, after October, when that series is finished, given that no one else dear to me dies and nothing else goes  terribly, horribly, wrong, I am hoping to be able to come at this book with some renewed vigor. Again many thanks for all of the encouragement on this project. It means a great deal to me.

Page 6 WIP 3

Getting close on page 6, Not moving nearly as fast as i had hoped, but I am having to re-invent the look and feel of pages1-5 without a print press so, all things considered, at least I'm learning a lot. This first all digital page starting to come together. Just getting the kinks worked out with lighting and the leaf boat. Should be done this week sometime!
